The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'ân, by M.M. Pickthall
105. al-Fil: The Elephant
1 Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant ?
2 Did He not bring their stratagem to naught,
3 And send against them swarms of flying creatures,
4 Which pelted them with stones of baked clay,
5 And made them like green crops devoured (by cattle) ?
